Fishing Report (Updated 5.14.2008)

Largemouth Bass: Tough.  Lake Wateree bass have been reluctant to bite ever since the spawn ended, and recent tournaments such as the NBC and Red Fox tournament have featured small sacks taking prize money.  Some schooling action is beginning to be reported and spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all producing off and on – people are throwing everything and have yet to find a pattern that is consistently working.    

Crappie: Fair.  Crappie have finished spawning and moved back out to deeper water.  Trolling with jigs and minnows is most effective, and the June Creek area has been productive.  

Catfish: Very good.  Multiple 40 pounders are still being taken as well as lots of smaller fish. Target big blue cats using cut bait fished on the edges of holes.  8 to 10 pound fish are being caught on stinkbaits, worms, cut bait, and live bait fished on the bottom.

Bream: Very good. Bream are moving shallow in preparation for bedding on the full moon.  Fish 1 to 5 feet of water using worms and crickets.
